<p>The Government will ban conversion therapy. The ban will cover both sexual orientation
and gender identity. How we ban these practices is a complex issue that we must get
right. Officials continue to consult a range of organisations with diverse views.
As well as this consultation, officials continue to assess the most up-to-date evidence,
including that of the UN’s Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
and of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association. We
have also undertaken research to understand practices, experiences and impacts associated
with conversion therapy and will publish this in due course. The Government is working
at pace on this issue and will outline its plans shortly.</p>
